<p>is your ACT score with writing?</p>

3

<p>Yeah it is</p>

<p>I think you're competitive enough to be considered..that's not saying you'll get in but you're definitely not obviously sub-par or anything. Coming from a small town, taking all the APs in your school, etc will help you out. Solid ECs, dude, props to you - I don't know anyone at my high school who balanced both soccer AND band, that's gotta be crazy.</p>

<p>Anyway, rock it. What's trap team?</p>

<p>Trap is a shooting sport. It's kind of like skeet if you've ever heard of that. It's my chance to commune with the rednecks :) .</p>

<p>Not only are you likely to be admitted to Rice University, you should receive serious merit scholarship award consideration.</p>

<p>I would say your chances are very strong. I like the 5's in all 4 AP's offered. You stand out in so many ways. Good luck. I agree, merit money likey to come your way as well. Make your essay really stand out.</p>

<p>Thanks for the input. I really don't know much about Rice, but I'll look into it more.</p>
